INNERSECTION NYC Premiere

November 22, 2011 | Words By: Staff Writer

Featuring twenty short surf films from twenty international directors, legendary surf filmmaker Taylor Steele’s Innersection project is unlike anything else in the sport today.


Surfer created. Audience selected. Ocean inspired. This year’s film brings together unique sections from around the world, including freesurfing legends like Pipe Master Jamie O’Brien and South American champ Gabriel Villaran, underground dazzlers like Maui’s Albee Layer and New York’s Leif Engstrom, and outsider icons like Santa Cruz’s Josh Mulcoy, Canadian Pete Devries and Maui’s Hank Gaskell.

Last year’s $100,000 winner Matt Meola is also back to defend his title, and the rest of year’s qualifiers are coming on strong with new music, new clips and a whole new approach. Join the action at innersection.tv
